Must do tour in Bucharest

Philip_B, May 2026

A brilliant tour to learn about the history of communism in Bucharest. Plus you travel around in a historic Dacia 🙂. Great way to orientate yourself around the city and pleased we did it on our first day.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for this incredible review, Jared! 🇺🇸 We're truly honored that you consider it the best historical tour of Bucharest — especially coming all the way from the US, that means a great deal to us! Bucharest's communist-era history is a fascinating and complex story, and we always strive to bring it to life in a way that feels authentic and engaging for every guest, no matter where they're from. There really is something special about experiencing that history from inside an iconic Dacia — we're glad it left such a strong impression on you! We hope Bucharest surprised you in the best possible way, and that you'll carry a little piece of its story back home with you. You're always welcome back!

Amazing experience!

Fantastic tour, learned a lot about the city and its history. The car was really cool and our guide was great. Would recommend to anyone.

Great experience!

We really enjoyed this tour! Our guide shared so much history, including his personal experiences with communism that provided a deeper understanding for us. We also love the souvenir paper he gave us.

Fantastic tour - a great guide, fascinating sights and you drive a fun car!

Paul_H, May 2024

Very interesting sights accompanied by the brilliant commentary and ‘story telling’ of Serban plus the added bonus of driving a 1977 Dacia 1300. A fantastic afternoon and terrific value. 100% recommended.
